Planning your wedding florals? Here’s what your Pinterest board isn’t telling you. When it comes to wedding flowers, there are many details that need to be considered.
So you’re knee-deep in wedding planning and just discovered that flowers are, like… a whole thing. You’ve fallen in love with blush garden roses, pinned 73 different ceremony arches, and now you’re wondering: What actually goes into all of this? You have to think about more than the usual wedding flowers everyone talks about.
Hi, I’m a wedding florist—and I’m here to tell you the truth about selecting wedding flowers. The good, the surprising, the “wait, what?!” of wedding flowers. Because there’s a lot no one talks about… but I definitely think you should know.
Let’s spill the (rose) tea, shall we?
🌸 1. Sorry, Peonies Don’t Bloom in October
Your favorite flower might not be in season—and that matters.
Peonies? Short window.
Ranunculus? Spring queen.
If you’ve been dreaming of a bouquet full of other wedding flowers that bloom in a different hemisphere at the time of your wedding… we might need to pivot.
Don’t worry—I’ve got stunning in-season options that deliver the same vibe without blowing your budget.
📌 2. Pinterest Is for Inspiration, Not Duplication
Yes, those floral installations are stunning. But here’s the secret: most of them are from styled shoots with no weather, no guests, and no timeline pressure. Your day is real-life. Let’s use your inspo as a starting point and build something that’s actually doable, actually you, and actually magical with your wedding flowers.
🌹 3. Those Big, Fluffy Blooms Don’t Happen Overnight
You know that perfectly open garden rose you keep seeing? She didn’t show up like that. We literally baby these flowers—timing their arrival, coaxing them to open just enough, and praying they don’t get too sassy the night before your wedding. There’s science, sweat, and a little floral witchcraft behind every “effortless” bloom. This meticulous care is what creates beautiful wedding flowers.
💰 4. Your Floral Budget Covers Way More Than Just Flowers
You’re not just paying for pretty petals. You’re paying for design time, labor, sourcing, schlepping, setup, teardown, transportation, and emergency “we need zip ties NOW” runs. It’s not just flowers—it’s the whole production. Trust me, it’s worth it to achieve your dream wedding flowers.
🧠 5. You Don’t Need to Know a Single Flower Name
Zero. None. Nada. You can absolutely walk into our meeting and say, “I like soft, romantic, and not too fussy.” That’s all I need. I’ll translate it into something beautiful—and probably throw in a bloom you’ve never heard of but will totally fall in love with when planning your wedding flowers.
🕊 6. Your Flowers Will Fade—and That’s the Whole Point
Yes, they’ll wilt. No, you won’t have them forever. And that’s what makes them so special. They show up, they bloom beautifully, and they remind you to be in the moment. It’s romantic and poetic. It’s your wedding day, with all your floral arrangements and details, in floral form.
🛠 7. Floral Installations Take Serious Muscle
Those dreamy hanging clouds and flower walls? Yeah… they don’t just appear. We climb ladders, haul buckets, wrestle zip ties, and sometimes pray to the flower gods. It’s floral CrossFit, and we love creating your perfect wedding flowers.
💦 8. Flowers Are Divas (and We Love Them for It)
Some wilt in the heat. Others open too soon. Some have pollen that will stain your dress if you hug them wrong. But they’re living things—and part of what makes them so beautiful is that they’re unpredictable and perfectly imperfect. Just like love, right?
🎨 9. Florists Are Artists—Period.
We don’t just toss stems in a vase. We use color theory, texture, movement, and structure to build something that feels like you. It’s storytelling with petals, emotion in bloom. It’s not a “floral package”—it’s a design experience. We create wedding flowers that tell your unique story.
🎁 10. When It’s Right, You’ll Feel It
That moment when you hold your bouquet. Or walk into your ceremony space and feel your breath catch. That’s the power of flowers done well. It’s more than pretty. It’s personal. And when it’s done with heart? It becomes one of the most unforgettable parts of your day.
So, TL;DR?
Wedding flowers are a whole vibe. They’re emotional, personal, fleeting, and honestly kind of magical. You don’t need to know the difference between a dahlia and a delphinium—you just need someone who can take your vision and turn it into something unforgettable.
